I have the unsettling habit of recording the silly / amusing things that people say in my presence. Here is a snippet from the last three weeks:
“My Spiriva should be sitting on the counter next to my tobacco” - Asthmatic patient to her husband
“He had the miniature cockle vaccine” – Young patient’s mother
“Thankyou! That was very nice, you holding my hand like that” - Older gent after I’d taken his radial pulse
“I feel like a polar bear” - Elderly resident putting her dressing gown back on
“You cannot make an ear fall off, and you cannot make a nose fall off, no matter how hard you try” – Anaesthetist
"I have a working fanny" - this one submitted via SMS, allegedly a classmate. Context unknown.

The context was that the quoter was excited that her rangehood fan was working. For some reason she calls it a fanny. It was more amusing when she tried to stop calling it that but failed miserably.
On another note, this heard just today from our Senior Fellow: "Nobody but a surgeon should be sticking a finger up their bum."
How goes the quotebook?
Hahah - I'm calling it the miniature cockle vaccine from now on!
